Our love affair with the Algarve began five years ago when we arrived in the southernmost region of Portugal to walk the Via Algarviana.

Background:
Tracy Burton is a writer and keen hiker who moved to Portugal in 2018.
She and her partner Harri have always loved the outdoor lifestyle; however, their native Wales proved too wet for year-round hiking pursuits. They are now enjoying exploring the Algarve’s diverse landscapes in (mostly) sunny weather.
In 2015, Tracy published her first travelogue, Never Too Old To Backpack: a 364-mile walk through Wales, an account of the couple’s three-week walk through Wales. A second book followed, The Via Algarviana: walking 300km across the Algarve, and eventually a follow-up, More Algarve Hiking.
Tracy writes for Tomorrow, an English-language community magazine and is a contributor to Walkingworld.com where she focuses on the central Algarve area.
The couple live near Armação de Pêra with their ginger cat Moses, so-named because they found him as a four-week-old kitten, soaked through and shivering on an Alcantarilha street.
